The New England Patriots announced are extremely disappointed to learn of cornerback Alfonzo Dennard's arrest for suspicion of driving under the influence.

According to a report the Lincoln, Nebraska Police Department, Dennard's red Honda Accord was pulled over around 2 a.m. for straddling the lane line on Normal Boulevard.

Police Department spokeswoman Katie Flood said Dennard emitted an odor of alcohol and displayed signs of impairment. He was then asked to do a field sobriety test and was transported to the Cornhusker Place for a breath test, where his refusal along with his straddling of lane lines led to the citation before being released.

Dennard is already serving two years of probation after being convicted in February of felony assault of a police officer outside of a Lincoln bar in 2012. He is also scheduled to begin his 30-day jail sentence March 1, 2014.

The incident with the police officer caused him to slide down to the seventh round in the 2012 draft where he was picked by the Patriots.

He has three seasons remaining on his rookie contract. If the Patriots release him, they'd save $451,076 against the 2013 cap .

Dennard is expected to start at right corner, across from Aqib Talib, with Kyle Arrington in the slot. If Dennard is unavailable, Arrington, Ras-I Dowling or third-round pick Logan Ryan could take his spot.
